CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (CKP)

GENERAL

The crank position (CKP) sensor is a variable reluctance (VR)
sensor that generates an AC signal by sensing the passing of
the 30 teeth cast into the engine's left side flywheel. Two con-
secutive teeth are missing in the flywheel to establish a refer-
ence point. The CKP sensor sends a signal to the Electronic
Control Module (ECM). This signal is used to reference engine
position (TDC) and engine speed. The CKP sensor is located
near the lower front left corner of the engine crankcase.

NOTE

The crank position sensor cannot be repaired. Replace the
unit if it fails.

REMOVAL

1.

Remove seat.

Disconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+)
cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable con-
nected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00049a)

2.

Disconnect battery. See 

1.4 BATTERY MAINTENANCE

.

3.

Remove the two cable straps securing the CKP wire to
the "V" bracket on the left side of the engine.

4.

Disconnect CKP.

5.

See 

Figure 7-77

. Remove screw (2) securing the CKP

wire bracket (3) and sensor (1) to the left crankcase.
Carefully remove CKP sensor (1) and o-ring along with
the harness bracket (3) from engine crankcase.

6.

Remove the plastic clip securing the CKP wire to the har-
ness bracket.

INSTALLATION

NOTE

The CKP sensor o-ring has a blue teflon coating that provides
lubrication during installation. It is not necessary to coat the o-
ring with engine oil or other lubricant to install it.

1.

See 

Figure 7-77

. Carefully install CKP sensor (1) and o-

ring into engine crankcase along with the CKP harness
bracket (3).

2.

Apply LOCTITE 272 (red) to screw (2), install and tighten
to 80-100 in-lbs (9.0-11.3 Nm).

3.

Install plastic clip securing the CKP harness onto harness
bracket.

4.

Connect CKP.

5.

Install the two cable straps securing the CKP harness to
the "V" bracket on the left side of the engine.

Connect positive (+) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable
should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected,
the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which
could result in death or serious injury. (00068a)
